Vertical Targeting Strategies for PSPs
Well-crafted vertical-targeting strategies are a winning playbook for U.S. payment service providers (PSPs) however, success is not homogenous. Before investing in a vertical strategy, PSPs need a deep understanding of factors such as:
- The merchant landscape (e.g., merchant concentration, average business size)
- Consumer payment preferences and trends
- Distribution partnership opportunities (e.g., vertically specialized business management software solutions)
- Competitive dynamics
Armed with this information, PSPs can form a winning value proposition and merchant targeting strategy. Flagship routinely evaluates vertical market opportunities for our clients.
